The findings suggest that consumption of high-protein meals like Chef Woo Ramen lead to reduced energy intake during the next meal, which may contribute to weight loss if included in a long-term diet.
Reza Soltanzadeh, CEO of Borealis Foods, expressed his enthusiasm about the study's implications: "We are thrilled with the results of the recent study, which highlight the strength of our IP and food science expertise. By confirming that consumption of our products helps reduce calorie intake and can support weight management, the findings open up exciting opportunities for Borealis Foods to venture into new product categories, furthering our commitment to innovation and excellence in delivering the highest quality nutritious foods."
Chef Woo combines healthy ingredients, including complete proteins and essential amino acids, with exceptional flavors that appeal to a wide range of palates. The results of this recent study are prompting a reevaluation of conventional dietary choices, advocating for high-protein options like Chef Woo that not only satisfy hunger more effectively but also contribute to long-term health benefits, making them a smarter choice for those seeking both nutrition and taste. With the current push by food companies, such as Nestlé and PepsiCo to create products mimicking the appetite-reducing effects of medications like Ozempic, Chef Woo stands out as a natural, food-based alternative that aligns with modern dietary goals.
Dr. Nikhil Dhurandhar added, "Generally, long-term adherence to lower calorie diets for weight loss is challenging due to hunger. Whereas, higher protein containing foods can increase satiety and significantly reduce calorie intake and body weight. This study highlights the importance of incorporating higher-protein foods like Chef Woo Instant Ramen into diets, which may help in weight management."
